Prepped stock rods are good for over 400rwkw, they are as beefy as a 26 rod and with the additional length there's less side loading.

What would stock rb30 rods be happy at?

I dunno, you don't really hear of RB30 rods letting go like the smaller rb's do. I think it's probably due to alot less revs. Probably run into rod bolt failure at 7500ish, but to turn that sort of rpm on a stock motor you'll need a decent flowing head or turbo(s).

Have tried to get a stock rb30 bottom to use with a 25 head + 35/40 turbo, think that would be a good reliable 320rwkw engine with minimal $. But whenever I get the parts together I end up selling them.

There's a VL guy that's running high 9's on stock rods and rod bolts however no-one seems to recommend it. I know that plenty of the RB30's getting around and making good power run standard rods but it seems that upgrading the bolts is fairly standard practice, even if you're not changing the rods themselves.
